Question Which OW FFP should I go on?

I'll get flown regularly (say at least 4 times per month) from Shanghai to North America or Europe on various carriers, mainly *A and SkyTeam -- though the last couple of times I've been flown on AA and CX, a rare exception. I travel only in economy and I don't get to pick airlines or fare class.

I have Gold status on both *A (SQ) and SkyTeam (AF). Will any OW airline match status for me on OW?

I don't have any credit cards, nor will I be racking up miles in any other way other than flying. I currently have about 14000 miles on AA, and expect to have another 14000 miles or so from CX (credited on AA) within these few days. I should've done the AA Platinum Challenge, but wasn't sure if it would be worth the price (and sadly I don't have a credit card to pay for it anyway) as I don't fly on OW much.

Should I change to another OW FFP other than AA? If so, which one? I'd like one which would fit my current travel patterns better, as well as not being a PITA for me to redeem miles on.
